Poonawalla Fincorp reported a significant surge in its second-quarter profit, rising more than five-fold to ₹375 crore compared to ₹74 crore in the same period last year. This growth was driven by a sharp increase in loan-book size, which boosted interest and fee income, resulting in operating profit more than doubling. The non-bank lender's profit after tax also jumped by 405.2% year-on-year, reaching ₹74 crore.

Net interest income, including fees and other income, climbed by 75.6% year-on-year to ₹1,589 crore, while cross-sell and servicing income increased to ₹118 crore and ₹91 crore, respectively. Assets under management grew by 55% to ₹74,008 crore, with new products accounting for 28% of the disbursements. MD and CEO Arvind Kapil noted that the growth was accompanied by margin expansion, with yields on new disbursements increasing by about 20 basis points in the second quarter.

The company also highlighted the expansion of its commercial vehicle business and the scaling up of the consumer durable network.
